i hear somthing knocking against the head...er under the valve cover...i mean, gr, its up top, ontop of the engine, not below where the crank shaft or crank arms are...its above that...yea...sry if i was confusing.

junk yard swaps can be tricky... you are going to need to get engine, tranny, axles, wiring, ecu, etc... best way is to buy the fron clip if they have it.

Uh, here, a GSR engine's going to run you about $3,000. Don't know about California babyface. Sorry.:kiss:

98k is nuttin... its just nicely broken in.... plenty of life in that engine.. unless uve messed it up somehow, or havent taken care of it
